(2) Paper C1/1 (page. 110) The title and abstract are as follows: SESSION Cl Modern Steel Processes Paper Cl/1 THK MRKCT USE OF COAL IN IRON- AND STEEL-MAKING OPERATIONS by L. Von Bogdandy, M. Chitil, J.A. Innes, and C.G. Jonker Kloeckner CRA, West Germany Tlu* use of widely available low-cost bituminous coal in steelmaking to compete with coke-based or electricity-based processes was adopted by the Kloeckner-CRA joint venture as the basis of technology development in the steel industry. This led to the introduction of the Allothermic converter and steelmaking processes such as KMS and KS, which permit the partial and full replacement of hot metal by scrap in steelmaking. These processes feature the pneumatic injection of coal into an OBM converter, in which part of the coal energy is used for melting and part is converted into a gas of medium calorific value. This gas is used to replace natural gas or oil requirements in existing steel plants. Post-combustion of the gas in the converter itself is a major tool in increasing the proportion of available energy in coal for melting purposes. The control of post- rom')ustion is therefore an important area of technical innovation in steelmaking. The very flexible operating mode of the AHothermic converter permits the economically optimal combination of hot metal-scrap ratios, steel production, and gas production for each plant location. Industrial-scale pilot-plant work on the use of the AHothermic converter as a coal- gasification medium has been completed. Further development work coupling the AHothermic converter with a direct-reduction unit indicates great potential for the reduction of operating and investment costs in the steel industry. 7 CONTENTS The letter and numbers preceding each title indicate the session in which that paper is to be presented, and the second number indicates the position of the paper in a parallel session, e.g. B2/6 means that the paper is the sixth presentation in Session B2.

  • Wisconsin Wavellite

    Wisconsin Wavellite

    Wisconsin Wavellite When rock hounds think of wavellite, they usually think of the green "lime slice" clusters from Arkansas. But wavellite occurs in other places, including Wisconsin. The Wisconsin material, although not as attractive as that from Arkansas, provides a valuable lesson in how this mineral forms. Wavellite is a hydrated aluminum-rich phosphate. The Wisconsin wavellite occurs as cream colored botryoidal to stalactitic crusts within sandstone of the Eau Claire Formation (Klemic and Mrose, 1972). It is found at the base of a long mound extending from Merillan to Black River Falls, Jackson County, Wisconsin. In these places scattered wavellite specimens can be collected on hill slopes or in low roadcuts. I became interested in this occurrence because I thought wavellite might be widespread within this formation. The wavellite is inconspicuous and easily overlooked by someone unaware of its presence. A student at U.W.R.F., Candy Schwantes, began work by specifically looking for wavellite at many localities where the Eau Claire Formation is exposed in western Wisconsin. After surveying over 40 spots, the Merrillan-Black River Falls sites were still the only places where wavellite was found. We concluded that its formation must relate to local, rather than regional, conditions. One thing that struck both Candy and I about the wavellite area was the spots of intense red coloration in the sandstone overlying the wavellite occurrences. This red coloration was iron oxide formed by the breakdown of pyrite or marcasite. As a result, sulfuric acid is released. This sandstone also contains fossil shell fragments made of the phosphate mineral, apatite.

Among the supergenics are the lateritic formations, being the Gurupi region, or more precisely Northeast of Pará and Northwest of Maranhão, in the Eastern Amazon a world classic geological example. Here, in addition to the minerals of these groups or series, senegalite, augelite, variscite and also wavellite occur. The latter, however, is always restricted, while the others may form a characteristic horizon. At the Sapucaia phosphate mine in Bonito, Pará, this mineral is presented in beautiful centimeter druses.
